Well, I tried "-resample 72", "-resample 96", and no resample at all but it still didn't work when I rebooted. Does the framebuffer console/normal console stuff in lilo.conf have to be set a certain way?

The picture is 35.2 kb in size. I think I did have the bootsplash thing in lilo set wrong so I fixed that and rebooted. The bootsplash came up, the progress bar started going across, the screen flickered, and it froze. It wouldn't continue booting. I had to boot my computer with the VL installation cd. Is the problem the size of the picture? (kb)

No it's not the size. Try resetting back to a known to work theme, reboot, then switch to your theme again, reboot.

Sometimes, it seems, that it doesn't take the switch very well, and the init gets a little corrupt. Usually the above will do the trick.

Well, I tried switching to a theme that was already there (that I didn't make) and rebooting. It started coming up but just like with my themes, it stopped and froze at "Performing Coldplugging". I think my hardware might not work with the bootsplash or something.

Anyway, Bootsplash Theme Creator version 1.5 is ready to be tested. It incorporates image resizing now so that it only needs a single picture instead of 3 different resolutions of one. It also has progress dialogs and at the end, it asks if you want to run the VL Bootsplash Switcher to switch to your newly made theme. Please test!

In the mean time, try and run vliloconf as root in the terminal.This will reset the lilo bootsplash settings and may help you out. I'm not sure how it's worded but you want to chooseeither high res or extra high res.

Before I get started on the testing, I just wanted to say great job. Really appreciate the work you are putting into this.This is going to be a great little app when you are done.

Started with an image choosen from google images.cloudsA_1289x1024.jpgImage size 119.2 KB, 72pi/inch, had a Subsampling of 1x1,1x1,1x1 (best quality)Using the image exactly as is (no editing with gimp)It just did not work.

Ok, here is v1.5 with the "-sampling-factor 2x2" fix. Also, this is the 3rd posting of a version of my program, I thought I should make all the attachments the same so would I be able to modify the post and do that?

Yes you should be able to use the 'Modify' option to change each of your postings.
